Mother Nature vs Concrete

Sometimes I wonder what beautiful parts of nature we have covered with concrete.

When I see things like this flower growing out of a concrete wall I feel like giving Mother Nature a big hug! Its like she re-created life where it had been destroyed.

Imagine a little seed finding enough soil and water to sprout from the unyielding, lifeless cement. It is a strong little flower, and a reminder of what we destroy each time we “advance” our infrastructure.

That is a really nice-looking plant emerging from the concrete. It’s also common to see wild weeds sprout out from between the gaps of concrete…I suppose these weeds are just angry someone laid concrete over them and just need a trim or two to show their true beauty 🙂
